I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Emily and Lindsey at SouthState Bank. From start to finish, they were absolutely phenomenal. As a client, being able to easily get in touch with my team when I have questions is incredibly important to me, and Emily and Lindsey exceeded every expectation. They were super easy to contact, always responsive, and kept me thoroughly updated on every single detail throughout the entire process. It is truly "10s all across the board" for this duo. They made what could have been a stressful experience completely seamless and straightforward. I would 100% recommend doing business with them to anyone looking for a top-tier lending team!

Emily is fantastic and at the top of the list. There is no one else I will use for our mortgages from now on. Easy to work with, excellent communication and goes above and beyond to explain, ensure things are right and that I was comfortable throughout the entire process.

I’ve been happy with the work we’ve done in the past (I believe 3 mortgages) but communication during this process was a let down. The experience was very automated, not one face to face call during this process; just automated texts, emails and videos to watch. I understand we are in a digital-first world but it felt very impersonal given our prior working relationship (at least I thought we had one). All the best! Brian
